Chapter 11: Chapter 11 It backfired.
Reading through the list of available materials and modules, he was surprised to find not only the materials he needed to manufacture the drones but also ready-made parts.
He immediately ordered both and he was not stingy about it.
Other than that he also ordered additional modules that he needed, food clothing a full set of tools, and many other things.
Surprisingly he found the equipment for his new slave in the item list and decided to buy that as well since she might need it.
Altogether he spent another 3 050 000 credits on everything, leaving him with 1 100 000 credits that he would need for the next time the merchants came.
As usual, the droids started bringing the supplies as soon as he confirmed the payment.
This time the pile of materials was much bigger than previously but that was to be expected as he also bought many things for his new companion.
-The modules you acquired along with the station of your slave will arrive within one hour of Earth's time.
The droid said before leaving the station.
This was nothing new.
While waiting for the modules, Andrew decided to read through the manual of the slavery chip to figure out what was going on with this alien beauty.
The manual was short and it only took him 5 minutes to read through it.
It turned out that the chip had eleven stages of control over a slave with 0 being the minimal setting which was turning the chip off and 10 as the maximum which turned the slave into a mindless puppet unable to do anything other than fulfilling its master's orders.
The amount of power he held over her scared him a little as he had total control over her and according to the manual, if he activated the chip on level 10 then he could even order her to self-terminate and she would execute the order without any way to resist.
There were two other functions available, one was the translation function which automatically downloaded the master's language into the slave's brain, eliminating the language barrier and the last one was the punishment function which made the slave experience intense pain all over their body.
This last option made Andrew decide to never become a slave no matter how bad the situation was as it could be used to torture the slave if the master so desired.
A shiver went down his spine when he tried to imagine a situation in which his diabolical siblings got their hands on him and implanted him with such a chip.
Thinking about it he decided that death was a preferable choice in such a situation.
Andrew pushed these thoughts from his mind and started reading the information about the alien woman.
There was not much info, but it was better than nothing and the best part was that it was converted into the units that he could understand.
Name: Lanarine Einethe
Age: 20 (Earth years old)
Race: Dranixian
Height 174 cm
Weight 62 kg
Renk: Lutenant.
Homeworld: Drani 3
Status: Slave
Master: Andrew Sparrow
Occupation: Astro Geologist for the 51st Dranix Space Engineering Battalion.
….
The list went on, containing her additional skills and her education.
However, there was nothing more than that.
He took some time to have a closer look at his slave and the only word capable of describing her was beautiful.
She was definitely an aquatic species since she had membranes between her fingers, he could not see any type of gills but that didn't mean anything as they could be hidden under her clothes or she might even have a different way to breathe underwater.
Her skin was light green with a mix of light blue colors, her body was slender, and the suit she was wearing made her look sexy as hell as it was a tight fit, emphasizing her body curves.
All in all, she was a beauty, no matter how he looked at it and she could prove useful as an Astro geologist, the only thing that worried him was that she was a solider, no matter if she was a space equivalent of a combat engineer, she had to have some combat training if for nothing else than for self-defense.
Thinking about it, the best way to stay safe with her around was to never scale the chip down to zero.
-Scale down the control level to 4.
Andrew said looking at the woman.
The moment he finished she almost fell as she had been standing like that for over half an hour and her legs were hurting as hell right now, not to mention that Earth's gravity was a bit higher than her own world's.
This put additional strain on her body but fortunately, it was not much.
Andrew caught her before she could hit the floor, and it was a strange sensation for him to hold a woman in his arms and an alien to boot.
Lanarine was a bit disoriented when control of her body was given back to her and a moment later she found herself in the arms of an alien who caught her before she fell.
She immediately panicked and tried to struggle free and escape.
-Stay still.
The alien said in a strange language she had never heard before but somehow understood.
She wanted to struggle more but the chip made her obey his command and against her will, she stopped struggling which made her panic even more.
-Sit down on the floor.
He ordered and her body moved on its own complying with the order.
Andrew first thought of telling her to go sit on the bed but seeing her panicking he decided not to worsen the situation.
Before he dialed down the control, it was set to level 9 and at that level, she would not have any memory of what happened to her.
-Who are you and where am I?
She asked nervously, surprised that she used unfamiliar words.
-My name is Andrew Sparrow and I'm a human, I bought you from the merchants so this also makes me your master.
He answered sitting down, facing her.
-As for your second question, you are on my space station but I have no idea where in the universe we are right now.
He added, softening his voice.
Lanarine looked at him shocked, she remembered selling herself as a slave to survive, but she expected one of her own people to buy her, not an alien.
If that was the case, she would be freed immediately and they could cooperate, but now she had no idea what this being was planning to do with her.
The possible scenarios went through her head and all of them were the worst possible outcomes she could imagine, from being tortured for his amusement, to becoming his sexual toy to being eaten alive.
Her people had some fictional stories about meeting aliens and it always ended badly so now she was afraid as she could not even fight back and was entirely at the mercy of this being.
-Would you calm down already?
Andrew said, seeing her starting to panic again the more she thought about her future.
He could figure out why she was afraid as he had read about slavery on earth and it was not pretty.
-I won't torture, kill, or eat you, I also won't be using your body as a sex toy, so stop panicking already.
If I wanted to do any of that then I wouldn't dial down the control setting on the chip.
Hearing his words made her realize that he was right, all he had to do was to keep her at the higher control level and he could do whatever he felt like doing to her.
Since he lowered it down it meant that he was not malicious, or that he liked to see her fear him, but it was unlikely as he was trying to calm her down and it didn't look like he was lying when he said all that.
She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down and decided to trust him for now, mostly because she had no other choice.
She knew how the slavery chip worked as the droids explained it to her when she decided to sell herself as a slave.
Unless this Human decided to dial the control to zero she would be under his control, and it was dependant on his goodwill to allow her any control over her body and actions.
-Why did you buy me?
She asked, her voice a lot calmer now.
Andrew was surprised at this question and at the speed at which she got her emotions under control.
-You were for sale along with your station so why wouldn't I buy you?
Besides the merchants told me that I was the first one compatible enough with your biology to allow you to survive, which was your condition on becoming a slave.
He answered, deciding to omit the fact that he was more interested in her station than her.
She sighed at his words.
The whole reason for setting this condition was that she wanted to be bought by someone from her own race, unfortunately, it backfired on her and now she was stuck with an alien she knew nothing about and was totally at his mercy.
If this got any worse she would scream and most likely just kill herself out of frustration.
